A Claims Authorization Form (CO-512 revised April 2006) for fiscal year
2006-2007 must be completed and forwarded to the Comptroller's Office, Accounts
Payable Division, 55 Elm Street, Hartford, CT 06106, Attention: Linda Arn by
June 9, 2006.

The CO-512 is available for downloading from the Office of the State
Comptroller website http://www.osc.state.ct.us/agencies/forms/.
The signature of the agency head (Commissioner, Executive Director, etc.) must
appear on all Claims Authorization Forms to certify that encumbrances and
expenditures are chargeable to the appropriations indicated.

Encumbrance and expenditure documents may not be processed for the new fiscal
year if the CO-512 is not received by June 9, 2006.

Proper internal accounting controls in every accounting system require a
segregation of duties in both the procurement and accounts payable cycle.

Mark only one box next to each name indicating that the employee is
authorized to approve encumbrances or expenditures.

The signature line of each authorized person is no longer required.
However, the agency head must still sign in the signature space provided.

Do not combine business units on one form.

A new section has been added for designated agency contacts performing
specific functions. Please provide all information requested.
